MONTROSE - A new Indian Nations Powwow will be held in Montrose
next month for all Native American nations and the public, also
serving as a substitute for the Delta powwow, canceled this year
for lack of funds.

“What we are hoping to do here is bridge a cultural awareness,”
said C.J. Brafford, Ute Indian Museum director. “We want it to be a
good time for all. It is open to the public, and there will be
times where they can come out and enjoy themselves in song and
drumming and get a feel of the culture - be part of it.”

The event Sept. 24-26 at Friendship Hall on the Montrose County
Fairgrounds will be the largest powwow on the Western Slope this
year, said Shirley Bradbury, event coordinator through THE
Corner.
